To reproduce: Start editing an article, edit the same article in a second tab, submit the changes in the second tab, then submit the changes in the first tab.
Actual result: The resulting message says "Someone else has changed this page since you started editing it, resulting in an edit conflict."
Expected result: It should say "You have changed this page ..." (Also, perhaps the text below that should be different, since it's more likely that you intend to overwrite your own changes than someone else's that you probably weren't aware of.)

Hi @Joriki, thanks for taking the time to report this and welcome to Wikimedia Phabricator!
I assume this happens when you are logged in? Which MediaWiki version are you using?

Yes, it happens on Wikipedia when I'm logged in. According to the generator meta tag, Wikipedia is using MediaWiki 1.37.0-wmf.7, and according to this page this was deployed on May 26, the day before I reported the issue, so it would already have been in use then.
